$78k/month niche YouTube channel

This is one of the craziest YouTube success stories I’ve seen in a while.

23-year-old Anthony Baroud started a channel about dental hygiene last September. A month later he tweeted that he’d hit 100 subscribers.

Now he has 3.6 million subscribers and Social Blade estimates he’s earning at least $78k per month in ad revenue (and possibly more than $1 million per month) 🤯

According to The Publish Press:

It wasn’t until March of this year that his channel really started taking off thanks to YouTube Shorts. Anthony’s first short-form video amassed 22 million views. Now, Digest Dental has signed with the same management as creators like MrBeast and ZHC.

Two takeaways from Anthony’s success:

• There’s plenty of money to be made in “boring” niches
• It’s worth experimenting with new platform features (like #shorts on YouTube)
